The new location, walking distance from Leeds’ train station, has recently been used for live theatre during Transform Arts Festival, to film mainstream TV dramas and is the new large scale indoor and outdoor space at the heart of the South Bank regeneration.

Oktoberfest bier, food and fun

One of the largest bier festivals in the world, Oktoberfest is one of Germany’s largest traditional festivals. Celebrating all things Bavarian, this year’s Leeds version has acquired an exclusive and collaboration with HofBräu.

HofBräu have a prestigious reputation as one of the last traditional Munich breweries still under Bavarian ownership. Founded in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria, the brewery is steeped in history.

This is a UK exclusive for the brewery, and they will be bringing traditional wooden barrels and performing Ceremonial Tappings at each session – “O’zapft is” - known for being super-theatrical.

Both weekends will be full of tasty authentic cuisine from the Bavarian area including award winning Bratwurst and the in-house Oompah band will be performing throughout both weekends.

Oktoberfest is returning to Leeds at a new venue - South Bank Depot, inGlobe Road, on October 6 to 8, then 13 to 15.

You can buy experiences, including standard, VIP tickets, which includes a VIP entrance, entry into the raised VIP area, a shared table, one free stein of HofBräu, with waiter and waitress table service.

The VIP Package - which is our prize - includes a private table for up to eight people, within the raised VIP area, close to the band, eight free steins of HofBräu, also with waiter and waitress table service.
